The paper deals with various initiatives undertaken, or to be undertaken, by Government of Botswana, and which may be looked upon as "Information Society" initiatives. These initiatives are critically analysed and conclusions are drawn from the authors' analysis. Based on conclusions, the authors make certain recommendations regarding implementation of the initiatives.

Constitutive modeling is the most intensive research field within solid mechanics. This work offers a comprehensive, parallel treatment of constitutive models and appropriate numerical solution strategies, at a conceptual level and with discussion of specific models for illustration. The exposion of each topic is self-contained and complete with extensive references for further reading. The gener

Utgångspunkten för denna behandling av Kristofferbilden är dess mellanställning, mellan representationsbild i Panofskys betydelse och legendserie, dess visande av en handling i en enda bild, och att grtaden av handling i bilden tycks skifta mellan olika perioder. Jag uppfattar handlingen som ett attribut, och söker utforska hur det blivit så, och varför just i detta fall. Eftersom handlingen i sig

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning (Popularised summary in Swedish) Beta-microseminoprotein är ett äggviteämne (protein) som först hittades i sädesvätska (seminalplasma). Det är inte känt vad det har för funktion. Man känner i dag inte till någon som har brist på Beta-microseminoprotein eller någon sjukdom som beror på Beta-microseminoprotein. Den genetiska arvsmassan Human Beta-microseminoprotein is a 94 amino acid protein with 10 cysteins present in seminal plasma and on many mucosal surfaces in the body. The function of the protein is unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to study the distribution of Beta-microseminoprotein in the human body, especially in the stomach. The latter was studied under both normal and pathological conditions. A radioimmu

The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) or the NorduGrid middleware is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data Grids, with special emphasis on scalability, stability, reliability and performance. Since its first release in May 2002, the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. This paper aims to present the future development direc

An edition of a previously unpublished liturgical legend for the Canonization Day of St. Birgitta of Sweden. The rather lengthy legend recounts the virtues of St. Birgitta in the manner of medieval preaching, then describes the process that led to her canonization, including some miracles that happened in Rome in connection with the Act of Canonization in 1391.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vilken typ av mat vi konsumerar och hur den produceras har stor inverkan på vår miljö och hälsa. Den globala livsmedelsproduktionen ockuperar drygt en tredjedel av världens markyta, står för runt 30 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och är identifierad som ett av de största hoten mot vår miljö. Vi lever också i en värld där nästan en miljard människor går hungriga och ännuFood production and consumption are key drivers of environmental pressures and essential factors in the promotion and maintenance of health. Production of food occupies more than 1/3 of global land areas and is estimated to be responsible for some 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, we live in a world where nearly one billion people go hungry and even more people suffer from

The paper presents a feedback scheduling mechanism in the context of co-design of the scheduler and the control tasks. We are particularly interested in controllers where the execution time may change abruptly between different modes, such as in hybrid controllers. The proposed solution attempts to keep the CPU utilization at a high level, avoid overload, and distribute the computing resources eve

The third generation (3G) cellular networks are starting to be deployed around the world. These networks are predicted to bring a vast number of IP enabled cellular terminals to the Internet. The limited address space of the current version of IP in the Internet, IPv4, has made the cellular industry decide to use IPv6 for these terminals. However, their success will largely depend on the availabil
